question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the oral answer of the Schools Minister, Nick Gibb on 14 May to the hon. Member for Wythenshawe and Sale East, what steps he is taking to review Progress 8; and when he expects that review to be complete.

uin	147908
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2018 answer text <p>The answer given in response to the Topical Question of 14 May referred to the changes being introduced to the Progress 8 methodology in 2018 to limit the impact that a small number of pupils with extremely negative progress scores can have on a school’s overall score. The Department set out further information on this change in the secondary accountability guidance, published in January 2018. The Department continues to listen to feedback from school leaders and other stakeholders on Progress 8 and to monitor patterns in entries and results, as part of ongoing work to keep all secondary school performance measures under review. My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education announced on 4 May further clarification to the accountability system so that schools can be clear that no mandatory intervention will follow from a progress score. The secondary accountability guidance is available to view here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/progress-8-school-performance-measure" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/progress-8-school-performance-measure</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 04/06/2018 13:47:41 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
